WTF?

Would somebody please explain to me how a library school can believe there's no strategic planning in project management? Top level managers don't have anything to do with it? Like some project is just decided on willy nilly and let the chips fall where they may, as in "conventional planning", with no thought what so ever to how it will impact future projects, the department, or even staff and staffing issues? Please - somebody - explain it to me cuz it's just inexcusable to think it doesn't exist.

That's my rant for the day.......glad I got that off my chest
